What this module changes in your work
- Choose state by ownership, update frequency and debugging needs rather than library popularity.
- Distinguish a CSS preprocessor, a general component toolkit and a React component system before choosing one.
- Use local versus shared state, React Context, Redux Toolkit in one coherent implementation.

Lessons
React Context, Redux Toolkit and Zustand
Choose state by ownership, update frequency and debugging needs rather than library popularity.
Vue with the Composition API
Build the same progress interaction with Vue so you can compare component models using evidence, not stereotypes.
Angular Standalone Components and Signals
Use Angular's opinionated component and dependency model to build a typed course-progress feature.
Bootstrap, Sass and Material UI
Distinguish a CSS preprocessor, a general component toolkit and a React component system before choosing one.
PROJECT CHECKPOINT
Turn frontend ecosystem and state into evidence
Rebuild one CourseFlow feature with a deliberate state boundary, then document when an alternative framework would be justified.
- Write acceptance criteria for local versus shared state before implementation.
- Keep the change small enough that a reviewer can connect it to the intended behavior.
- Use the most direct check available for React Context and save the result.
- Record one decision you would keep and one you would revisit after feedback.
